Features: This book includes 167 supplementary and new plant species, providing detailed information on each plant's scientific name, common names, morphology, flowering period, suitable soil, growth characteristics, propagation methods, and cultivation highlights. The series follows the principle of assigning one common name to each flower, but some commercially or colloquially recognized names of flowers and plants with strong representativeness are also included. The photographs are all taken from actual specimens, with electronic scanning and color separation, and printed in their original form. The floral poses and appearances leap off the page, distinguishing them from commercially reproduced versions. The propagation methods and cultivation tips are mostly based on the climatic conditions, growth habits, and practical cultivation management of South China. The scientific names are recognized by scholars and experts in Chinese and international horticulture, and further reviewed by plant taxonomist Mr. Chen Deshun. References from dozens of sources are cited to ensure completeness. Any inaccuracies are sincerely hoped to be pointed out by advanced readers. The book features a wide variety of plant species and exquisite, lifelike images. It provides concise and clear introductions to the morphology, ornamental features, growth habits, propagation methods, and cultivation tips of various landscape plants, making it highly ornamental and practical. Taiwan shares similar climatic conditions with parts of South China, Southwest China, and East China. Most of the plants introduced in the book can be cultivated on the mainland, and it is hoped that this book will serve as an important reference for landscape workers, students and teachers in related fields, and plant enthusiasts.
